Place is undergoing some renovation. Unfortunately the renovation efforts seemed to be an avenue for some pretty slack service. Called desk when heat would not work with an overnight temperature forecast to drop to 20. Woman at desk respindr was that it works because that room had been renovated. Not an absolute by any means

They were renovating and painting. There was a lot of dust. My room smelt of paint and I had to open the window to try to get rid of the smell. Definitely not worth the price! Had I known they were painting and all the dust the day before running a marathon, I would have booked elsewhere!
